We've covered all of the vulpine side shrines of Toyokawa Inari Tokyo Betsuin, but there's still one more side shrine worth of notice here: This tiny shrine is literally dedicated to water, so it makes sense that it would have a bunch of frogs as its guardians.

This is actually not the first shrine featuring foxes, but since the last one (The Suehiro Ookami Cluster in Kyoto) also featured many foxes, it did not get marked explicitly as a FROG shrine. So this is officially the first pure frog shrine that I came across.
